This quote got to me simply because it’s so incredibly puerile.
Don’t let Joe Biden take credit for the vaccine. You know, Joe Biden failed with the swine flu. H1N1. Totally failed with the swine flu. Don’t let him take credit for the vaccines.The vaccines were me and I pushed the people harder than they’ve ever been pushed before. We got that approved and through and nobody’s ever seen anything like it.
Biden has never taken credit for the vaccines. But he has given credit to the scientists and the companies that made it happen in record time which is as it should be. They all had every incentive to get it done as quickly as possible and Trump’s rants had very little, if anything, to do with it. And, as we know, Trump actual performance on the crisis has been deadly.
But once again, I have to ponder why so many people like a leader who both whines incessantly about anything that doesn’t go his way and insists he is solely responsible credit for everything that does. Even setting aside their disinformation stream that may validate many of the things he says, I would assume they could see how childish and self-serving this is after a while. But they don’t. They seem to think his attitude is admirable and to respect all the whining and bragging. I’ll never understand that.
